The NBA is probably the most political league in the four major sports so this probably means that Dwyane Wade will not be MVP at the end of the year. It will be LeBron and if you follow this blog, you know I hate on LBJ too much probably although I respected that he was playing the best in the league for awhile. Now its pretty obvious that D-Wade is the MVP.
Lets take a look at his numbers.... 29.7 Points a game 7.7 assists a game 5.1 rebounds a game. Miami is a five seed with a couple games back of the Atlanta Hawks. There is no way that the Heat would be even sniffing the top 8, I mean just take a look at last season 15 wins. I mean yes you can same thing about LeBron but he has Mo Williams, it can be argued that Williams can become a "Scottie Pippin" type player for the Cavs. Where is Dwayne Wade's Mo Williams? Answer, he doesnt have one. Jermaine O'Neal is the closest you can get to that but Williams is so much better than O'Neal its not even funny.
In addition, Wade is playing with two rookies, Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley who both play good minutes for the team. He has put this team on his back and made them a playoff team by the way he has been playing all year. He has forty points plus in nine games this year which is the league-high. Not to mentioned, he is helping his teammates become that much better. Chalmers and Beasley will not be the same players without Wade.
Now for the Brett Boyers of the World who I know when we get back to Eau Claire this probably turns an argument. Yes I know Lebron has led the Cavs to the top spot in the NBA Eastern Conference and has improved his defense (take a look at last nights game against the Kings) plus his three point shooting is getting better. If its not D-Wade, its Lebron. Not Kobe, but as I stated above, Williams is a difference maker for the Cavs which is something the Heat do not have.
